Locations: Asia

Special Locations:
Southeast Asia

Description:
The Southeast Asian monsoon is an essential part of life for millions of people. In this project we study the expected climate impact of man made greenhouse gases and anthropogenic aerosols on the dynamical system. We are concerned with the pattern of rainfall changes that might be expected in future.
